; Application filed June 4:,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANQOIS lsmonn LAVIERAN, a citizen of the Republic of France, residing at Toulouse, 11 Rue Cafla- 5 relli, France, manufacturer, have invented new and useful Improvements in Necktie Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a double toothed rack apparatus intended for directly securing to the shirt collar or collar, at a height which can be varied with theutmost ease, neckties bows or other similar pieces of clothing.

Said apparatus allows:

1. To place the neck-tie at the desired height, without tearing to crease the collar, by means of a slig t upward push;

2. To hold said neck-tie securely fixed to the shirt collars or collars button, thus avoiding all displacement and deviation together With the resulting unsightly effect, to conceal the collars button; I I

3. To withdraw the neck-tie with the utmost ease through a simple downward pulli The annexed drawing shows by way of example a practical form of the apparatus constructed according to my invention:

Fig. 1 is a front view of the neck-tie holder of which Figs. 2 and 3 show the separate parts;

Fig. 4: is a perspective view;

Fig. 5 shows a special model for bows and Fig. 6 shows the apparatus adapted for holding a neck-tie with resilient wings.

The apparatus is essentially formed wlth a double toothed rack. a of which the notches are held brought together by means of a spring secured at 6 in front of an U shaped 40 slot cl intended to admit the stem of the collars button. The frame (3, which may be made of metal, horn, celluloid or other suitable material, is provided with extensions (2 enabling the neck-tie holder to be secured at the proper place on the neck-tie.

When the springtoothed rack a is adapted to the holder of a neck-tie with resilient wings, the stem of said holder may have a round window f for passage of the head of the collars button. The resiliency of the wings completing the action of the rack, enables said holder to exactly and auto- 1919. Serial No. 301,768.

matically adapt itself to all forms of down folded collars and the neck-tie to reach the maximum height it can. Y

The neck-tie holder so described works as follows: i The apparatus being secured to the necktie or to the neck-tie support, engages the buttons head through the window f and its stem in the slot (Z, push then slightly upward I up to the chosennotch; the spring-rack a then holds the neck-tie hung to the button; in order to withdraw said neck-tie, all that is necessary is to slightly pull down; the

two legs 01 the spring-rack will open allow-.

ing the buttons stem to pass freely and the neck-tie becomes disengaged.

The idea of the double toothedrack thenotches of which are held together by a spring and between which an axis can, under the action of a push or of a pull, take at will different positions, could receive all A What I claim is: 1. A. necktie holder comprising a support ing member for attachment to a tie and having a slot open at one end to clear the head other applications it may be able to give.

and corresponding in width with the di ameter of the shank of a collar button to re ceive saidshank, and asgring on one side of said member and having terminal arms attached thereto and also having an intermediate U-shaped portion the sides of which have racks arranged parallel with and at op posite sides of said slot, to receive and yieldably ho-ldthe collar button shank in any of their notches.

2. A. necktie holder comprising a supporting member for attachment to a tie and having a slot open at one end to clear the head and corresponding in width withthe diameter of the shank of a collar button to receive said shank, and a spring pressed rack on said support, arranged at one side of said slot and also arranged to receive and yield ably hold the collar button shank in any of its notches.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
